Desperate for any help, he takes the advice of a gypsy... When Larry's body is unearthed from his grave, he miraculously springs back to life, but finds that the wolfman curse is resurrected with him. Desperate for any help, he takes the advice of a gypsy woman and travels overseas to a mysterious European village. There he searches for the legendary Dr. Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who might be able to solve his peculiar problem. Unfortunately, when he arrives, Larry learns that the doctor is dead. Instead, he meets Dr. Mannering, another gifted man of science who happens to be dating Frankenstein's daughter. Just when it seems Larry may finally be cured, Frankenstein's monster is discovered frozen in a large block of ice. Foolishly, they thaw him out, and, as you might expect, a climactic battle between wolf and patchwork-zombie soon follows. [More]

Pretty much the end of Universal's horror line as a home for even the vaguest kind of serious filmmaking.

"The last great Universal Frankenstein movie, despite the overstuffed title."

It starts off really well, stalls a little toward the middle, goes bonkers for one really odd musical number, and then derails completely at the end.
